STEP TWELVE:


The Twelfth Step says that having had a
spiritual awakening, we try to carry this
message to others. Our message is one of hope,
love, comfort, health – a better way of life, one
that works.

How do we carry it? Not by rescuing. Not by
controlling. Not by obsessing. Not by
becoming evangelists for the recovery cause.

We carry the message in many small, subtle,
but powerful ways. We do our own recovery
work and become a living demonstration of
hope, self-love, comfort, and health.

Inviting (not ordering or demanding) someone
to go to a meeting is a powerful way to carry the
message.

Going to our meetings and sharing how recovery
works for us is a powerful way to carry the
message.

Caretaking and controlling are not ways to carry
the message.

Still, the most powerful form of helping others
comes down to helping ourselves. We cannot
change others, but we can change ourselves.
